In addition, Blood’s Honor contains a two entirely optional sections. Draugr, undead, and dragons are now the feared creatures they always should have been, and you won’t want to venture into one of Skyrim’s many Nordic tombs without the right equipment, or at least some magical knowledge.

But you will still have to think about your opponent. You’ll deal and take more damage, but you’ll have tools to deal with that – timed blocking, the ability to actually get out of the way of a big power attack, being able to block while dual wielding, and the possibility of limited, cost-free training to get you going. With these mods installed, combat will be quicker, more dynamic, more rewarding of both skilled play and prior preparation, and a lot more lethal. So, as with Dragon Rising, the idea behind Blood’s Honor is to enhance what’s already there, not try to change or replace it. My intention is not to overhaul Skyrim’s combat completely – however hard people try, you just can’t recreate a system like Dark Souls or The Witcher 3 in Skyrim’s engine. My intention is to create a series of add-ons to effectively create a modular mod guide – install the base, then add ‘packs’ based on the kind of playthrough you’re intending to do.īlood’s Honor is named after a quest in the Companions’ storyline, which should tell you everything you need to know about it.

It is designed to seamlessly fit in with a full Dragon Rising install – simply add the new mods to your list in the relevant sections, recreate your Bashed Patch, and go. Blood’s Honor is the first ‘add-on’ to Dragon Rising.
